Gameday Thread (4/19/24 3:40pm Pacific): Angels @ Reds: Anderson on the mound, Drury at DH

[OregonLAA]

It would be nice if our $35 million man could get anything more than a single. Reggie Willits had more power

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

This game a snoozer. Maybe the halos can lose 2-1 again.

I honestly wonder if either Rendon or Schanuel even get to 10 HR this season.

Over the last 12 games Rendon has hit .346/.397/.404/.800. He is the last guy you should be shiting on in the GameDay thread. 

[bloodbrother]

What's the record for most SB in a game by a single player?

[Blarg]

Anderson is really pitching well. Defense cost him an unearned run, otherwise this game would be gooseeggs.

I don't know but my guess is it is one of three guys, Brock, Wills or Henderson holding that record. Or some guy like Chicken Run Booker from the 1906 Superbas.

Babip is the highest of his career and his WRC+ is the lowest of his career. Gonna have to disagree with you here. Wrc+ is 77. Seventy fucking seven. And people are acting like he’s on fire lol

[Blarg]

I was hoping we would have been able to make fun of Lodolol but he is pitching like he wants a 9 inning shutout.

First it was OMG is he ever going to get a hit.  Then it was OMG is he ever going to get an RBI.  Now it's OMG is he ever going to hit for power.  FFS, people need to give it a rest already. The dude has seen his exit velocities go from the low 80s to 88.7, while also seeing 4.21 pitches per plate appearance -- 11th best in the AL.

He's bating leadoff and still seemingly getting his shit together, but Angels fans gonna Angel fan.

I’ll bet anyone in here Rendon won’t. I’d almost be willing to make it 5

[T.G.]

Good job, Jo!!

Nah. This ain’t it. I know we are stuck with him so I wanted him to hit lead off. That’s working. But it’s still really sad we are all happy with this performance from a guy who gets paid a ton and acts like a jerk. Are we really down that bad?

[AngelsLakersFan]

Adell with 2 hits, a stolen base and an RBI

[Halo in Chicago]

Let’s go Adell!

[daygloman]

Good work boys!

Go Halos!

[Swiss Angel Fan]

I'm rooting for Jo! He definitely deserves to play more

[eligrba4ever]

Rengifo and Adell. Somebody other than Trout or Ward produces a run.

[OregonLAA]

Rengifo and Adell should play every game. Nice!!

Adell, totally redeem yourself, etc

[bloodbrother]

Adell gotta have one of the lowest baseball IQ's I've ever seen but you gotta keep throwing him out there regardless. The tools are still loud

He is fucking hitting the ball now, after a horrible start. Of course his year to date Wrc is shit but the last 12 games he has been on fire.

THIS IS NOT THE GUY YOU NEED TO BITCH ABOUT.

If Trout was hitting as well he could challenge Ward for the RBI lead.
